  Please note that program fees are non-refundable. We are at the mercy of the local weather each day, which may affect trail conditions. If it unsafe to be out in open areas due to lightning, or if the air quality is too hazardous to ride, or the trails are too wet and riding them will cause damage, then we will have alternate activities planned for chunks of the day that may or may not involve mountain biking (ie. day hike, bike maintenance, etc).

Scholarships:

If your child cannot participate without the help of scholarship funding please let us know. We have a limited number of scholarships available for each week of camp.

• Participant must be able to ride a two-wheeled pedal MOUNTAIN BIKE on trail. Bikes must have hand brakes, multiple gears, and shifting that operates smoothly and effectively. Please take your child’s bike to a local shop prior to camp if you are unsure of its current working condition. If your child has never been on a mountain bike on trail before then this program will not be a good fit. If you have questions about if your child’s skill level is conducive to a successful week of camp, please contact us before signing up. Thank you!

• PEDALS should be what the rider is most comfortable using (we encourage flats).

• Participants must wear a properly fitted HELMET at all times. Additional protective equipment is not required.
